ive been reading up on 60ft times. apparently as a rough rule of thumb whatever you reduce the time by in the 60 ft will double in the et, and ive read i should be able to do a 1.6 60ft in the car all being perfect, with a fookin hard launch. so hopefully an 11.2 may be possible. i want to be as good as i can be before going to pod.

ive been studying this run and its inacurate the accelerometer has had a jolt or something maybe where ive hit a bump and the speed increase is incorrect as the 4th gear part runs too high, so i havnt reached 128 mate its an error run that the gtech hasnt picked up on.

down to 11.7 now, and 60 in 3.4 seconds. i dont think the falkens have much more to give now though.
its certainly good practice though being able to study the data and try to improve.

be nice to see a slip from the pod now but bear in mind its a better suface there tho

yeah seems consistent calibrated as good as possible now. as for the surface at pod are you saying its gonna be easier or harder ?

when my mates mk1 yb escort is ready im meeting him at pod for a drag race old school jap on old school ford

should be quite fair power to weight i have roughly 400 per ton he has roughly 370 per ton

planning on pod after harvest when ive got time and when its cooler, how will i have to alter my launch compared to doing it on the road ?

am i gonna have more grip at pod so as it will be easier to launch ?

Most people tend to 'bog' at the pod, they've perfected launching on dry roads without bogging or lighting tyres up, at the pod, the sticky track will cause it to bog. More revs needed normally
